THE ICT SUSTAINABILITY CONUNDRUM ICT consumed 6% of global energy in 2013, at approximately Gigawatts; As of 2013, worldwide telecommunications networks consumed approximately 69 gigawatts (1GW is the typical capacity of 1 nuclear power plant), the equivalent of 12 New York cities; Energy costs account for 10-15% of the total network operating expenses (OPEX) and can reach up to 50% in developing markets with a high number of off-grid sites, or where only a poor quality electricity grid is available; Smartphones and tablets will drive mobile traffic to grow up to 89 times by 2020 from 2010, causing energy use to grow exponentially.

ALCATEL-LUCENT’S ECO-IMPACT ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY Bell Labs pioneered the technique of LCA estimation by component categorization* Typically yields the largest eco-impact *Estimating the carbon footprint of telecommunications products: a heuristic approach. Published in the Journal of Mechanical Design, September 2010, Vol. 132 / Each component category has its eco- impact contribution characterized by its key materials and manufacturing processes

Materials efficient product designs o Increasing functionality (e.g., more capacity, service, performance) per unit of electricity consumed o Occupying less physical space, weighing less and using fewer types of materials Example: 7750 SR - delivers faster service while using 50% less power and reduced cooling needs; and takes up 30% less space meaning fewer components and raw materials used* Improved materials selection o Optimal materials selection during the design phase delivers increased efficiency in material usage while offsetting other materials/ energy needs and their eco-impacts Example: Aluminum (~65% recycled content) employed in lieu of painted steel (~30% recycled content) for a product chassis / cabinet Reduces raw materials extraction needs (due to higher recycled materials content) Produces a light-weight product that uses less energy in shipping, installation and end-of-life treatment Needs fewer materials for corrosion and finish protection ALCATEL-LUCENT MATERIALS MANAGEMENT Materials efficiency and selection * than other / previous generation products
